York, December 24th, ut | al p. m
Mr.. Manning was banker by pro-
fesslon but about % years ago pur-
chased an interest in the Albany Ar
gus and became its general manager.
He was a skilfull fnancier and I'M
der his administration the Argus
prospered. He became fast friend
of Governor Cleveland and was in a
great measure instrumental in bring
ing him out as the Democratic can
didate for president in 1884. Re
cognizing his ability in money mat
ters as well as personal obligation,
he became secretary of the treasury
under Cleveland's administration and
acted in that capacity until he was
seddenly stricken with paralysis
about eighteen months ago from
which he never recovered and which
eventuated in his death.

The grant of the Branch survey being

AUSTRIA's POLICY.


VIENNA, Dec. 18.-The military council
to day was presided over by the Emperor
Francis Joseph. There were present
Herr Won Tisza, Hungarian Prime Minis
ter; Count Won Taafe, Minister of the In
terror; Count Kslnoky, Imperial Minister
OF Finance; Archduke Albrecht, Count
Won Welserchsimer, Minister of Defense
Of Austria, and Won Fejervary, Minister
of Defense of Hungary. Previous to and
after the council Herr Won Tisza had
inference with Cou ut Kalnoky. They
resolved that the uneXpended portion OF
the Credit OF 50 100000 forms voted last
spring shall be applied to the purchase OF
equipments and the construction of huts
for troops in Galicia. No increase. of
forces in Galicia has been yet decided
upon, and If there is no further augmen-
tatlon Of Russian troops on the frontier
Austria will adhere to the policy of Oh
servatiou. Another military council has
been summoned for tomorrow.
WILL MAINTAIN RELATIONS.
VIENNA. Dec 18.-It is semi-officially
stated that the Cabinet shares in the be-
lief that the good relations with Russia
will be msintsined. No difference exists
except as to Bulgaria. Austria is ready
to assist in pacidcation OF the matter, but
the announcement that Russia projects o
whole series of military measures of
which the recent Increase of forces in
Poland is only part, enjoin increased
military vigilance. Austria must keep
pace with Russian plans. Count Won
Toofe and Herr Won Tisza agree that the
summoning of delegations in the mean
time would be inopportune.

Prince Bismarck, the psper says, counsels
Austria while strengthening her military
position to>avoid giving provocation to
Russia. 1t Is officially explained that a
court circular announcing the meeting

erroneous impression that a military

is said, did not hold a council but merely
gave reception to General Won Molke
